With the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of Pasay City set to hear SM Prime Holdings Inc.’s (SMPHI) petition to stop the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) from proceeding with its Common Station project, the transport agency will argue the case of ordinary commuters at 9:00am tomorrow.

Apart from savings of around P 800 Million to 1 Billion in constructing the Common Station at the EDSA-North Avenue end of the MRT-3 system, it will also work to the benefit of more riders since the Quezon City government is developing the North Triangle area as a new central business district.

“A crucial feature in transportation development is intermodality. Commuters should not have to walk long distances to transfer from one mode of transport to another. Our policy is to promote traveling convenience and efficiency for commuters, which is why we have chosen the end of the MRT-3 line as Common Station’s location,” said DOTC Spokesperson Michael Arthur Sagcal.

What is “Summer”?

Summer is obviously the warmest of all the seasons because it is usually associated with hot and dry weather. The date of the beginning of summer varies according to climate, tradition and culture. Schools and universities typically have a summer break to take advantage of the warmer weather and longer days. In almost all countries, children are out of school during this time of year for summer break. Activities such as traveling to the beach and picnics occur during summer months.

For most of the students, summer means “relaxation”. To me, summer is a “family tradition”. One of my most favorite family tradition is summer. Why? Every summer without fail, my family and I explore and travel. Summer is always so exciting for me. Traveling during summer made me think that the world is still beautiful and interesting.

This year, I had another fantastic summer adventure! My family and I went to Bicol and explored it for one week. We decided to travel by car to know how long it takes to travel from our place and to enjoy the scenery. Guess what? We traveled for about 13 hours! It was my first time traveling by land in more than five hours.

Epson Enters the Direct-to-Garment Industry With The All-New SureColor SC-F2000

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Epson, digital imaging and printing solutions leader, recently introduced their first direct-to-garment printer, the SureColor SC-F2000. Epson’s entry into the textile industry is marked by a large format printer that has been wholly designed and developed using Epson’s proprietary technology -- from its newly developed PrecisionCore print head to its UltraChrome DG ink -- and even in the pretreatment liquid used in the process.

As the Asia Pacific region represents the largest and fastest growing market for textile printing, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 4%, there is no doubt that small to medium businesses can benefit from the Epson SureColor SC-F2000’s revenue-generating features. Combined with high performance, low maintenance, and low running costs, the F2000 is an ideal investment for SMEs.

Online t-shirt shops, production t-shirt printers, and even corporate users will benefit from the SC-F2000, with its crack-resistant ink that is soft against the skin. Users can configure the system to suit their needs by choosing from two sets of CMYK ink for white garments or up to four white inks for color garments.
